Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through God's will, unto the saints who are in Ephesusand faithful in Christ Jesus, -

His, in fact we are - his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus upon a footing of good works, which God prepared beforehand, that, therein, we might walk.

Wherefore, keep in remembrance - that, at one time, ye, the nations in flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by the so-called Circumcision in flesh, made by hand,

Hence, then - no longer, are ye strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens of the saints, and members of the household of God, -

In whom, ye also, are being builded together, into a habitation of God in Spirit.

That they who are of the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through means of the glad-message, -

Wherefore, stripping off what is false, be speaking truth each one with his neighbour, because we are members one of another;

And shamelessness and foolish talking, or jesting, - which things are beneath you, - but, rather, giving of thanks;

For ye were, at one time, darkness, but, now, are ye light in the Lord, - as children of light, be walking,

For, of the secret things which are brought to pass by them, it is, shameful, even to speak!

Be taking heed, therefore, exactly how ye are walking, - not as unwise, but as wise, -

Buying out for yourselves the opportunity, because, the days, are evil;

Because, members, are we of his body; -

Ye servants, be obedient unto them who, after the flesh, are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto the Christ;
